ASUS was one of the first to present a motherboard with USB 3.0 support. In may we saw the first USB 3.0 chips launch and over the last week have seen multiple USB 3.0 to SATA bridge chips being presented. Alas, USB 3.0 took a dive when stories of ASUS pulling the plug on its P6X58 Premium motherboard appeared. It would have become its first USB 3.0 compatible motherboard.
